Customer Reviews

MY NEW FOOD BIBLE!!!

I absolutely love this book. As a nutritionist it is so hard to tell my clients what foods are better for them and what foods they should avoid without having written facts to show them. This book is easy to understand, wonderfully organized, and contains so many foods that it is rare that my clients present me with something I cannot find within this book! I've loaned it to numerous patients so they can see for themselves that what they are eating is either good or not as good a choice nutritionally. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants a comprehensive, easy to follow guide for the strengths, weaknesses, and cautions (allergies, etc) of the foods they eat!!!

Great reference book

I have used this book more times than I can count for information on a particular food- for instance, Yucca. I had no idea the value and nutrients in this food. An eye opener. It gives all the allergy iinformation and best way, nutritionally, to cook item. Looking for sodium contents... fat contents.... fast food info....it is all there and easy easy easy to read. Highly recommended!

With an RD's Stamp of Approval

Living with a registered dietitian, this book has been an invaluable resource. Whenever a debate breaks out about how many grams of fat are in half an avocado, or how many grams of fiber an apple has, you can go to this bible and resolve it instantly. This is literally the book I open up most in my library.

A fascinating resource

This book gives you the nutritional makeup of EVERY food out there--from fruits and nuts all the way to fast food. And it doesn't "look down" on any kind of food. It gives you the facts, and always finds some redeeming nutrition, even in a Big Mac! In trying to increase my fiber intake, I found this book invaluable--and an interesting read to boot!
